i finaly started my first lifesize bust/mask sculpt! and ive been wanting to do my own creature for a while, and sometime in the future do the whole suit, but thatll be a few years away... so the mask will have to do for now.

heres after one day:

and heres some detail i just did out of boredom

still alot to do,its still in the shaping stage, so let me know if theres anything i can change or make better!

Thank you all! It's always been my favorite monster suit, and I've studied it allot and the construction of it and the methods used were pretty advanced for the time, and even by today's standards. I think if there were to be a remake like what's been talked about for years, the suit would be made almost the same exact way. And I guess that says something about how well it was made so long ago.

Absolutely stellar! Reminds me of the work that KNB did a few years ago-hope that you do the entire outfit!

thank you! ill have to search for KNB to see theirs!

and im hoping in the next few years to get the full suit made, but it'd a HUGE project for me as ive never done a ful body sculpt! this is really the first sculpt ive ever done other than a godzilla head that i never really finished...

edit: wow, i just watched the united monster talent agency trailer and it was amazing! i dont know how i havent seen that before! the creature suit looked amazing, and its really the only one ive ever seen made that was that good! (ive only seen 2 others and they were less than impressive xD)

That is amazing - the first pictures were great and the levl of detail being added is fantastic. Such an iconic movie monster, if i ever finish my Vader, I need to work on my sculpting skills and attempt this.

There's actually a documentary on them, called The Nightmare Factory-check it out!

Wow! This just totally reminded me of "Creature Feature", which was a show that would play classic horror movies every Saturday afternoon when I was a kid. I remember that one underwater scene in the Creature from the Black Lagoon, where the creature is swimming below the female lead. I thought that was such a good, but scary scene.
